Based on 3 experiences from female travelers. Based on our research and crime data. Kuwait was safe, not so many things to see, people were not the most friendly. It was colder than Oman.
The shopping was great, food was the best. But not so many things to see. I loved the towers. You will have to rent a car. During my visit to Kuwait city, I was feeling safe in general, but at some moments, for a solo female traveler wasnt so relaxed.
First off all - arrival. At the airport, border officers are there to do the visa process, but when they asked for a reason of visit, and I said tourism, they started laughing.
I didnt realise why, but after, I got it. Maybe cause the tourism there is still at very low level. Also at the city, people mostly dont walk. Petrol is very cheap so they are driving.
Outside was me and few workers at the construction site, so they were staring, as much as people from the cars, usually folowed by loud car horns, which wasnt nice at all. In general, Kuwait was interesting to be visited, but not that much to do and see if you stay only in the capital. Maybe would be better if I had any suggestions from the locals, who knows :.
